Hollywood Road

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Because of the preoccupation with the preparation of the new project, Murphy even forgot that his first film had already been shown in the theater. On the way to the theater, he made a special call to Jones Butler to get a brief understanding of the relevant situation.

Miramax had previously promoted "Fruit Hard Candies". In addition to placing posters and commercials in some theaters, it also aired TV commercials in the late night hours of two public television stations.

For the promotion of "Fruit Hard Candy", Miramax is very restrained. The investment can be described with careful calculation. After all, the cost of the film is here, and it is impossible to invest too much in the promotion, otherwise it will inevitably lose money.

The car drove to a relatively remote movie theater in Santa Monica, and just entered the parking lot. The co-pilot again complained about Carrie Mulligan, “Are you the director? It's in theaters!"

Seeing Murphy parking, her baby's face was full of resentment, "I wanted to see it in London, but I didn't have to see it there."

"Okay, my dear." Murphy greeted her to get out of the car, "I'm not preparing for a new movie."

Kerry Mulligan closed the passenger door and turned to stare at Murphy, "New movie? What is it?"

"Secret." Murphy locked the car and headed to the west theater first. When Kerry Mulligan caught up and shook his arm, he said again, "Wait a while before the script is complete and you can watch it."

Kerry Mulligan immediately grinned happily.

As soon as the two entered the theater, Kerry Mulligan pointed to the front bulletin board and said, "Look, Murphy, our poster."

Directly in front of the corner, a poster of "Fruit Candies" designed by Miramax was posted there, with a little girl with a red hood standing in front, and a photographer in gray clothes behind her staring at her.

"I'm going to buy a ticket."

Murphy bought two tickets in the past, and the two entered the theater. Although "Fruit Candies" was rated R, Murphy was there, and it was not difficult for Kerry Mulligan to enter the theater, and the minors ran in North American theaters. It is not uncommon to enter R-rated movie theaters to watch movies.

"There are so few people." Kerry Mulligan kept looking around, "The seats are empty."

This is a small theater that can accommodate hundreds of people. Counting Murphy and Kerry Mulligan, there are probably less than fifteen spectators.

"It's normal," Murphy reminded, "Don't forget today Monday."

How can this kind of niche movie have a lot of audiences.

In fact, during the phone call, Jones-Butler mentioned some relevant screening data to him. "Fruit Candies" entered the North American theaters since last Friday. Miramax contacted ten for this film. Home theaters ordered the show, and got 36,538 US dollars on Friday. The situation on Saturday and Sunday was slightly better. The box office accumulation for the first weekend exceeded the 100,000 US dollar mark in one fell swoop.

In this way, the box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" in the first week of screening exceeded $10,000, and it also won the opportunity to expand the screening.

I have to say that Miramax is really good at distributing independent films. Starting from this Monday, the number of North American theaters of "Fruit Hard Candies" has increased to one hundred and sixty.

The film began to show, Kerry Mulligan was completely silent, and the whole person was involved in the film. When Hailey turned her head for the first time, Murphy saw her eyes turn red and two lines of tears flowed down. People seemed to be shaking.

The moment your dream comes true, you will always be so excited that it is hard for you.

Murphy understood this feeling very well, stretched out his hand and gently patted Kerry Mulligan's arm, Kerry Mulligan turned his head, wiped away the tears on his face, tried to squeeze a smile on him, and then lowered his head hard. Pushed it on his shoulder.

The two smiled at each other and turned back to the film.

Soon, Kerry Mulligan laughed so that his mouth was about to crack at the base of his ears.

Because the audience is relatively small, most people are concentrated in the middle rows, and some quiet comments will inevitably spread here.

"This girl plays really well."

"She's so beautiful, so cute, so cool!"

"I like this girl, and also her red dress and canvas shoes."

Someone later talked about her performance.

"The little girl's acting skills are awesome, it's scary to watch."

After listening to this, Kerry Mulligan felt floating, better than drinking Chivas with Murphy.

Although there are some voices that think the film is excessive, but for Carrey Mulligan's performance, the voices that ring from time to time in the hall are almost all praises.

And Murphy also thinks that Kerry Mulligan played very well, her almost natural performance well concealed her own shortcomings, compared to the previous Alan Peggy, her appearance got too many extra points. Up.

The audience tends to look at their faces.

In the end, Little Red Riding Hood killed the Big Bad Wolf again, causing another exclamation. The woman was dark and the man hurt...

After the screening, more than a dozen viewers walked out of the theater one after another, Murphy and Kerry Mulligan were at the end.

"Am I doing well?" Kerry Mulligan asked impatiently.

Murphy nodded, "Very good..."

A hint of disappointment appeared on Kerry Mulligan's face, shaking his body, and humming, "Is that good?"

"My dear, you have to listen to me to finish." Murphy shook his head and continued to move forward. Carey Mulligan followed eagerly, and he said again, "You behave better than James Franco. ."

Kerry Mulligan pressed **** the pointed chin, "I will do better in the future."

She followed Murphy, walked out of the theater, toward the front hall, and when she passed the poster board, she turned her head and looked at it for a while, the little red riding hood above was so eye-catching.

The only thing she felt sorry for was that the audience just now was really a bit small.

If the audience is full and everyone is full of praise for her performance, what a wonderful feeling it would be.

Thinking of these, Kerry Mulligan followed Murphy out of the theater, looked up at the dazzling sunlight, and suspicious questions suddenly sounded on the right.

"Excuse me..." A brown-haired girl who was about twenty years old looked at her and asked, "You...Are you Hailey?"

"Haley?" Kerry Mulligan was taken aback.

Murphy also heard the question, turned his head and reminded, "Haley in the movie."

When Kerry Mulligan suddenly realized, his eyes curled up with a smile and politely stretched out a small hand, "Hello, this is Kerry Mulligan."

When the brown-haired girl held it in her hand, Kerry Mulligan said again, "I played Hayley in "Fruit Candies."

The brown-haired girl was surprised, "It's really you? You acted great!"
